Sept 11th.

Events

The journey continues apace.. Practising trying to get from lying down to sitting up. 

Sounds easy? Well, before it was. Now..really not. 
Shoulders feeling the pain. I’m extra reliant on them now that I’ve lost half my body. I seem to have injured the right arm in the crash. My right elbow ‘was swollen like a balloon’ I’m told. So I’m having a scan tomorrow to see what I’ve done to it and my right shoulder . Fingers crossed. 
Mentally I’m strong (ish). I only get depressed if I think about getting depressed. So I generally flick the switch to ‘thankful I’m alive’. 
My voice continues to sound a cross between Larry Grayson and Mariella Frostrup ( if you know who they are !). 
I can’t speak loudly, and I sound like I’m on helium supplements. It’s sort of husky and high pitched at the same time. 
Big thanks to my father in law, Dr Al, for treating us to dinner tonight. 
And thanks to Dani for not crashing my wheelchair… Well, it was close a few times.
